You Are a Temple of God

Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own.—1 Corinthians 6:19 (NIV)

The Bible calls your body a temple of the Holy Spirit. When you are stuck in a traffic jam or waiting in a long line at a grocery store, remember this verse and take a moment and go inward to pray. God is ever-present. His unfailing love lives in your heart.

Holy Lord, sometimes I forget that my body is sacred and that any free moment can be one of worship because You are always with me.

Give It to God

Jesus replied, “You do not realize now what I am doing, but later you will understand.”—John 13:7 (NIV)

Be Like God

Heal Hurtful Memories

But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.—1 Peter 2:9 (NIV)

You Are Stronger Than You Think

“I am he, I am he who will sustain you.”—Isaiah 46:4 (NIV)

Look Inward

Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.—Matthew 7:5 (NKJV)

It’s been said that many of the flaws you find in others are your own flaws reflected in them. When you are being judgmental of someone in your life, look to yourself. Ask God to show you the “plank in your eye” and to to help you focus on your own spiritual healing and growth.

Heavenly Father, help me be a better person. Show me the plank in my eye.

Live by His Word

God said to Moses, “I’m going to rain bread down from the skies for you. The people will go out and gather each day’s ration. I’m going to test them to see if they’ll live according to my Teaching or not.”—Exodus 16:4 (MSG)

God promises to provide all that you need. Your role is to follow His teaching and live by His Word. When you have doubt or are tempted to turn away from His guidance and wisdom, turn to this verse and pray. Have faith. Believe.
